Chapter 22 Entering Area No. 5 for the First Time - Is Hawthorn Pill Selling?
"What are you still doing?
Chase.
Looking back at Cheng Chuliang and Lin Fa being dumbfounded, Fang Yiai couldn't help but be furious: "Let me tell you, if something goes wrong with the son, the three of us will wait to bury him." ” "Do you think I don't know that?
If you have the kung fu to say this, you might as well chase it in early.
Cheng Chuliang snorted coldly, and hurriedly stepped into the gate, and Fang Yiai and Lin Fa hurriedly followed when they saw this.
As soon as Li Zhen and the others walked out of the gate, they came to a place that was completely different from the previous No. 4 area.
"It's no different from Area 4, I thought the underworld area would be chaotic."
Looking left and right, Li Zhen muttered - the only difference is that Area 5 is far less lively than Area 4, and the people walking on the street are not only sparse, but also most of them are listless, lazy and lazy, far less enthusiastic and industrious than the people in Area 4.
"Boy, new here, right?"
As a result, Li Zhen had just finished muttering, and a few people leaning outside the door surrounded her.
Li Zhen immediately pretended to be frightened, and said nervously: "How do you know?
You're not going to bully me when you're a newcomer, are you?
Let me tell you, there is someone behind me, does the big golden tooth know it?
I'm close to him......"
The first gangster with this wolf's head tattooed on his body interrupted Li Zhen's words, and said angrily: "What kind of mess is it?"
Who's going to bully you?
The people who come to our No. 5 area are all guests, and we don't have any bullying here.
Uncle is a newcomer who sees you, he doesn't understand the rules, he will guide you in advance, it's best to be careful here, be honest, raise your eyes a little more, don't collide with people you can't provoke, then you are the real dead and have no place to be buried.
Whether you are a prince or a wealthy businessman, you have to listen to us when you come here, our No. 5 area has its own rules, and the one outside you are useless.
In addition, don't think that you don't know where to hear Jin Ye's name and just pick it up and use it, if you let Jin Ye know that you use his name to make trouble, even if you escape from Luzon, you will definitely die. ” "It turns out that the big brothers are good people, hey, I thought they were blackmailed."
Li Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's all to blame on the rumors outside, saying that Area 5 is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and now it seems that there are good people." ” "Hahaha......"
Li Zhen's words made everyone laugh, and even the three of Fang Yiai couldn't help but burst out with laughter - His Royal Highness is really good at playing, if these gangsters know that the person in front of them who is about to be blackmailed by them is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know what their expressions will be?
"Of course we're good people."
The wolf-headed thug laughed and said, "But good people also have to eat, we can show you how to survive in Area Five, but ......"
Reaching out and making an international gesture.
"Yes, I understand the rules."
Li Zhen showed a clear expression, took out a piece of broken silver from her purse, and handed it to the wolf-headed gangster with a smile: "There is not much money, be careful, a few big brothers have a cup of tea." ” Seeing the silver, the wolf-headed gangster's eyes lit up: "It's easy to say, this piece of silver is worth two questions, if you don't understand anything, just ask, Brother Wolf, I have lived here for four or five years, and I am very familiar with this area, as long as it is not a confidential question, I can answer it." ” Li Zhen could see that this group of gangsters was not the kind of gangsters who made a living by extortion, they mainly made a living by leading the way to popularize common sense for newcomers who had just entered Area 5, and then charging a certain fee - compared to those real gangsters, such gangsters were still a bit conscientious.
"First of all, the first question, isn't it said that Area 5 is the second most chaotic place in Area 6 of the six major areas?
Why is the street so clean?
Laughing, Li Zhen asked the first question.
"Isn't that easy?
In order to attract customers.
The wolf-headed gangster said seriously: "You think, we are black, it doesn't matter about these, but the guests are not, if they come and find that there is garbage all over the place, the stench is full, then where will they be in a good mood to talk about business?"
So three years ago, several bosses in Area 5 joined forces to carry out a general cleaning of District 5, so there is today's beautiful environment - by the way, among those big bosses, there is Jin Ye, who you are very familiar with. ” Li Zhen gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Oh, so that's the case, no wonder people can be big bosses, this vision is long-term." ” "That's it, otherwise people are bosses, and we're gangsters."
The wolf-headed thug also approvingly: "Okay, what about your second question?"
” "The second question is......"
Li Zhen looked left and right mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "The younger brother wants to buy a little hawthorn pills, I don't know if the eldest brother has a way?"
” "What?"
The wolf-headed thug was startled, and hurriedly looked left and right to see if there was anyone, only to breathe a sigh of relief, and turned around and couldn't help but reprimand: "I said that you are too bold, right?"
Do you dare to say such a thing as a hawthorn pill?
Don't you know this thing is forbidden?
I said if you want to die, don't pull me along, okay, I won't do this business for you, the money will be returned to you, you should leave quickly. ” Li Zhen was more reasonable than him: "Of course I know that this thing is forbidden, but isn't this a black market?"
Isn't the black market a place where you sell contraband?
You don't even dare to sell hawthorn pills, do you?

” "Nonsense, of course we dare to sell general contraband, the problem is that this is really boycotted by everyone, even the underworld bosses are not allowed to do it - since last year, the underworld boss Niu Bang Shan Niu Ye was abolished because of smoking hawthorn pills, the bosses of the fifth area have joined forces to ban this thing."
The wolf-headed thug lowered his voice and said: "Boy, I see that you are pleasing to the eye, you should also come here to see the world, there are some things that even the underworld bosses are not allowed to get, Hawthorn Pill is one of them, whoever touches it will die......
Looking at the entire black market, only Renhetang can sell this kind of thing, but people also use it as medicine, and they can only sell it for two taels at a time, but if they find more sales, there is only a dead end - the last Renhetang shopkeeper was because he sold a little more hawthorn pills, and he was lost by several bosses, and he couldn't see anyone alive or dead, and he was not found in the cement pier until last month. ” "I see."
Li Zhen nodded pretentiously: "Then forget it, I won't ask, thank you big brother for solving your doubts." ” "Even if you ask me again, I won't say it, the money will be returned to you, hurry up and go."
The wolf-headed thug returned the silver in his hand that was not yet hot to Li Zhen, and then ran away with his younger brothers in a hurry, not even wanting the gate.
"Hahaha......"
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the gangsters, Fang Yiai and the others laughed.
"He's not telling the truth, is he?"
Li Zhen didn't smile, but frowned and asked, he came from the next generation, he knows too well the profits of poison * products, as long as it can be made, it is dozens or hundreds of times the profit, such a business is said that no one does it, Li Zhen said that he doesn't believe anything - even if this kind of thing is boycotted by all the underworld bosses, it can be said that it is blocked by both black and white, but there are many people in this world who want money and don't want to die, it is impossible for someone to take risks for the sake of profit, if this thing can be banned so easily, There will not be so many people dead in the Hereafter.
Fang Yiai replied: "Of course it's not true, the profits of hawthorn pills are too big, no one in this world will have trouble with money, don't look at those bigwigs on the surface one by one hate this thing, but the subordinates know very well that most of the bigwigs have hawthorn pill processing factories under their commands." ” "It turned out to be a thief shouting to catch a thief, this group of scum, it's really damned."
Li Zhen's eyes narrowed, there were not many taboos in his heart, but hawthorn pills were definitely one of them - if someone sold other contraband, Li Zhen could turn a blind eye, then hawthorn pills were really the most intolerable thing for him.
Speaking of the appearance of the hawthorn pill and part of Li Zhen's responsibility - five years ago, a wave of enemies from Tianzhu mixed into Yuezhou City to assassinate Li Zhen, that group of enemies are from the top masters of Brahmanism, and proficient in yoga, often able to make moves from incredible places, Li Zhen obviously has many masters, but was killed by the enemy's strange methods, and many masters died in vain.
The situation at that time was really very dangerous, but fortunately, Li Zhen usually treated his subordinates well, coupled with the home factor, countless soldiers were stunned to use their lives, and finally killed the enemy.
It's just that although the enemy was eliminated, Li Zhen's side also suffered heavy losses, even if they didn't die, most of them were injured, especially the weapons of the Tianzhu masters were quenched with poison, the poison was not very violent, but it was very peculiar, even with the help of famous doctors such as Shiratori, it only solved part of the poison, and the remaining residual poison Although it was not fatal, it made the wounded painful and unbearable, and the general anesthetic did not work at all, and some warriors who couldn't stand it even tried to commit suicide in order to get free.
Li Zhen really couldn't bear to watch the soldiers wail every day, so he ordered Chen Tianlu to extract opium from the poppy to relieve the pain of the soldiers.
I have to say that although this opium is not a good thing, it is still very effective in relieving pain, and after taking opium, all the soldiers immediately felt that the pain was reduced a lot.
Later, after these people recovered, they highly respected opium, and even some attending doctors at that time began to use this thing to relieve the pain of the injured......
And then......
Even though Li Zhen had repeatedly ordered the ban on it, opium eventually spread among the people, and even some injured people simply named it to relieve pain......
But what no one knows is what kind of demon they unleashed......
Things continued, some of the injured patients were more seriously injured, and the folk doctors had not witnessed the horror of opium*, so it was inevitable that the opium taken would be excessive, so they ......
As you all know, this thing is addictive......
By the time Li Zhen found out, this thing had already begun to circulate among the people, and even some speculative businessmen had begun to sell it......
And because the earliest opium was rolled into balls and sold, the size and color were about the same as hawthorn pills, so hawthorn pills became synonymous with opium.
It can be said that it was Li Zhen's single-handed promotion that led to the spread of hawthorn pills, and Li Zhen regretted it very much afterwards, but once such a thing as poison * spreads, it is very difficult to stop it.
Even if he even made the law with his own hands, if anyone found planting or selling hawthorn pills, he would be killed on the spot without trial, and he killed a lot of drug dealers, but the only effect of this move was only to make the price of hawthorn pills double and double, and finally reached the height of one or two silver and one hawthorn pill, and countless people joined it one after another for the sake of profit, and the people couldn't afford it, and it didn't have much effect.
The only good thing is that this matter was discovered by Li Zhen relatively early, which also led to the fact that the hawthorn pill did not spread as crazy as in the late Qing Dynasty, and his crazy suppression finally had a little effect, so the hawthorn pill has always been spread in Lingnan and some places in Nanyang, and has not spread to the whole Tang Dynasty.
"Childe, I don't blame you for this matter, after all, you didn't have any other way than Hawthorn Pill at that time."
Cheng Chuliang saw Li Zhen's expression, and knew what he was thinking, after all, he was also present at the beginning, and he knew too well the miserable situation of the guards, if he didn't use Hawthorn Pill, it would really be better to let them die.
"My son is fine, let's go first, and explore the details here today."
Li Zhen proposed, he knew very well that hawthorn pills were taboo, although the wolf-headed gangsters looked enthusiastic, but that was for the sake of silver, in fact, those who could mix here were scum among the scum, not to mention that people didn't ask for their own money, if they didn't leave, maybe he would bring someone to arrest him when he turned around - after all, although the bigwigs from all sides made hawthorn pills, at least on the surface they still hated hawthorn pills, and now they know that someone came to buy hawthorn pills, and they have to send someone to see the situation anyway.
If the other party is clear, then it will directly kill the matter, if the background is deep......
Isn't it just right to do business if you invite someone over?
"Yes."
Sure enough, not long after Li Zhen left, the wolf-headed gangsters returned here with dozens of people, looking at them one by one holding machetes, fierce and vicious, it was obviously not easy to mess with, but this scene was placed in District 5, but it was commonplace, at most, a few pedestrians who were wandering around hiding, and even the shops on the street were not closed.
Looking at the empty streets, the wolf-headed gangsters scratched their heads: "Strange, what about people?"
I was still here just now. ” A person who was obviously the eldest brother sneered: "Don't worry, since everyone is here, you can always find traces, wolf head, you did a good job today, as long as you catch people, the big brother city will be rewarded." ” The wolf-headed thug immediately sneered: "More bosses, thank you Brother Cheng." ” "Less nonsense, hurry up and find someone."
"Yes."
